These are the men who will play against Stanford in the basketball game January 3, 1917, at the Los Angeles Athletic Club: Standing, left to right —Wills, Hackney, Wilcox, Oertly, Neal, Brockman, and Livernash. Sitting, left to right—Baker, Haight, Henderson (captain), Carver, and Kolts.
the coach realizes that the odds are against putting out a record-breaking team, he feels the chances of heating Stanford are good, and is building up a team on that theory.
Coach Blair, who is handling the basketball team this year, stated last night that the showing of the team had increased fifty per cent in the last week. Competition is keen for the places fin the team, and consequently every man is doing his utmost
“The basketball season, like football, is starting out with very little promising material,” said Coach Cromwell yesterday. "However, if the players work and practice consistently we will undoubtedly have a team of fast, aggressive men before the end of the season.”
The coach went on to explain that in meeting Stanford in basketball we are up against the same proposition as in the football game. With but two of last year’s players out for the basketball team and none of the freshmen being eligible, it means that the team must he developed out of practically inexperienced men. Although
Nowr that the football season has come to a close, several of the Trojans’ star gridiron performers are planning to come out for the basketball team, in the hope that their presence will add to the probability of defeating Stanford in the big intercollegiate contest to be staged at the L. A. A. C. gym on the evening of Jan. 3.
The list of men who will devote the next fewr weeks to basket tossing includes some excellent material. Added to the material already on hand, it should make one of the strongest teams that has ever represented U. S. C. on the basketball court. Coach Mottts Blair is already beginning to see the return of the days when the Trojan five was the most feared in Southern California athletic circles.
Johnny Sigler, the 170-pound guard on the football team, who also held down the center position on last year's basketball varsity, is out again working in his old-time form.

FIELD PROSPECTS
POOR, SAYS COACH
“It's the same old story,” said Coach Cromwell yesterday when asked about field chances this year; “we ! can’t use the promising freshmen material and will have to content our-S selves with developing a field team out of green material. At present the j only good news I have heard regarding the field events is that Len Livernash will enter the broad jump for the Trojans this year."
Speaking of track material, the coach said that he considered the i prospects bright. Beal, the fast Stanford quarter-milc runner, is attending the U. S C. College of Law this ; year and will run for the Trojans Crippen, George and Gansner,
! as other last year's stars, in track suits soon.

Charley Johnson is planning to try out for a position as guard. Charley held down that position at Occidental a few years ago.
It was thought for a time that Harold Huyck would try for a forward position, l>ut present indications are that be will not be able to come out for the team. Huyck is said to be every bit as good at basketball as he is on the football field.
All of the men who are out for the team are reported to be in good condition. Practice scrimmages will be lielil at least three times a week during vacation, and when the Stanford team shows up at the L. A. A. C. on Jan. 3, they will meet one of the strongest teams that they have ever had to play.
